To the trolls they dont. They believe life can go on without useful posts.
Some one said theres been 4 topics about this issue, which means it needs addressing, admins and staff hopefully will see this and agree that its a problem that needs to be addressed and dealt with.
Bit OT....does any one here think I'm a troll?
I don't think so Limited. Your posts, while they do conflict with my viewpoint on occasion, are pretty relevant to the topic most of the time.
While these spammers may not be trolls, they should still be treated like trolls. Aka, other then moderators/admins deleting threads and banning them, pay no attention to these spammers.
Don't feed the trolls.
I don't think your idea is any solution at all because while they may not be entertaining us, they're entertaining each other, so moderation needs to happen.
Which I said it does (aka the part about deleting and editing). But until mods can act, you must not post in their threads, send them angry PM's, or even acknowledge them. If you do, they will see that their thrives for attention have paid off and are working.
Trolls: Want to create conflict in a community.
Spammers: Want attention.
Both require acknowledgement to meet their ends. Take acknowledgment (not including banning or deleting, those are needed to solve the issue) out of the equation and they get bored.
It's not even that they're trolls or spammers, dude, they're just immature members who thought acting like a bunch of 4chan/ /b/ tard memefags was a good way to get lol's. We're making it clear that it's not.
What you're saying is irrelevant.
Even though, if you take out our reactions, they have less to lol about.
Us getting angry causes them to lol.
You're missing the point. Most of the kids we're talking about aren't trying to get laughs (for themselves), they're trying to get us to think they're cool by acting like a bunch of idiots.
nope. just a bigot. :(Quote:
